This highly-acclaimed six-part series pays tribute to the Canadians who participated in World War II - young Canadians whose collective courage and spirit led to victory. The series traces Canada's role from the pre-war years when Prime Minister Mackenzie King found himself charmed by the "appealing and affectionate look" in Adolf Hitler's eyes, to the development of the A-bomb that finally put an end to the most destructive conflict in history.
Narrated by Arthur Kent and produced by Norflicks, No Price Too High chronicles Canada's role in the major events of the war, including The Battle oF Britain, Dieppe and D-Day. Incorporating the personal letters, photographs and diaries of many Canadians including those at home, No Price Too High reflects the hopes, dreams, heartbreaks, fears, and terrors of young men and women suddenly swept into a world of destruction, conflict and chaos.
